[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1407768, member: 54178"] LAYERING Mountaineers go out in the worst weather and they all use a layering system. 1. BASE LAYER-> medium or polar weight long john tops and bottoms 2. TORSO LAYER-> wool or synthetic sweater or 200 weight fleece shirt 3. INSULATING LAYER-> down (but WITH a down waterproofing treatment like Dri-Down or Down Tech) or synthetic like Climashield or Primaloft Gold. 4. WPB (waterproof breathable)SHELL-> I prefer eVent but Gore-Tex Pro is similar and regular Gore-Tex is OK. This is for wind AND rain/wet snow. "Don't leave home without it." This goes for boots as well. NEVER wear cotton anything. "Cotton Kills" is the mantra of mountaineers. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
